Description

Poplar Farm is a house dating from the mid-18th century with early 19th-century additions. It is constructed of red and blue chequered brick, extended with red brick, and has a plain tiled roof. The house is two storeys and an attic, built on a ragstone plinth and features a dentil and dogtooth eaves cornice to the hipped roof. Two hipped dormers and chimney stacks are located at the rear left end. The left-hand wing has a brick corbelled eaves cornice. The left side of the house has sash windows with glazing bars on each floor, while the 18th-century block to the right has three wooden casements on the first floor and two glazing bar sashes on the ground floor. The front door, consisting of six panels with the two central panels glazed, is set in a Doric porch in the centre of the right-hand block. A red brick garden wall projects from the right end, standing approximately five feet high and extending for about thirty yards, with buttresses at regular intervals. The building has group value.
